Dec 9, 2011 at 21:37 comment added ho1 @Kate: I didn't think so much about if they'll know how to flag well as much as about the possibility for misuse. Spending a month or so to get 750 would probably be too much effort but if any kind of powers were to be given to users with 600 or less I think that it could be dangerous unless combined with other requirements (Rep, number of days on SO or similar). Otherwise it would be too easy for someone to create 5-6 accounts and then spend 4 days to get them all up to 600 which could then mean that they could delete answers as they want.
Dec 9, 2011 at 13:22 comment added Kate Gregory if someone spent a month getting to flag weight 750, by the time they were done, they would be a really good flagger even if they weren't when they started. And at that point, trusting their judgement is probably the right thing to do for certain kinds of decisions. The fact that, if you apply yourself, you can learn this skill quickly does not mean that it is a non-skill or that people who haven't put in a month or more of work learning it can do it as well as those who have.
